Experience the quiet magic of watching plants transform cloth. Together, we’ll slow down, prepare cotton bandanas, and work with Heuchera, a native plant rich in tannins, to coax lasting colors into the fabric. As the dye bath develops, you’ll learn how natural materials can replace harsh chemicals and leave with a hand-dyed piece that carries the memory of the garden. NYC Parks GreenThumb hosts this event. We are proud to be the nation’s most extensive urban community gardening program, sustaining over 550 gardens throughout New York City. With GreenThumb’s support, community gardens are centers of environmental justice, ensuring that our city is fairer, safer, and greener for all. GreenThumb’s events are free and open to the public.
